Liam Payne has revealed he's gone back into the studio to give his album an overhaul following his split from Cheryl.

The former One Direction star released a statement on Twitter on Thursday evening saying he wanted the tracks to "truly represent me", which meant changing up things up to reflect that he's now moved on from his past relationship.

He wrote: "As you may know, the last few months have seen some big changes for me... I looked at some of the songs on my album which were done a while ago and they felt from another age.

"I'm determined for my album to truly represent me."

Liam, 24, went on: "I'm now back in the studio working hard to finalise the final few songs on the record - I'm genuinely excited about the music I'm writing and recording and I can't wait for it to be ready for you all.

"In the meantime, this EP is a collection of songs that I'm really proud of and want you all to hear... tell me what you think. As always, thanks for your support - it means the world to me."

The singer then revealed his first song since he split from Cheryl, titled First Time, will be released on 24 August.

Dad-of-one Liam split from Cheryl just under two months ago, but has already moved on - with a stunning model.
